I could never read
                             tealeaf's,
because I thought it tasted
like nicotine flooded ashtrays..

translating censorship was like
                                         morse-code,
for every breath serenaded my
                                    lack of interest..

"Hello
... silence
Hey
... silence
Hi
... silence
Sup
... silence
Are you dead?
... silence
Hello?
... silence
Are you ignoring me?
... silence
Okay, I'll leave you alone
... silence
Sorry
... silence
... silence
... silence
Hey
... silence
Are you okay?
... silence
I'll leave you alone, sorry
... silence
... silence
... silence
Do I bother you?
No, you're fine, it's not you I swear.
Okay.
... silence
... silence"
I know, I know
I shouldn't let this hurt me so.
I should believe you
I shouldn't think what you say is untrue.
It's not all about me
But this happens so often it's hard not to see.
Are we really friends?
Is this coming to an end?
Are you going to leave me too?
... Like all of them.
Was I too clingy?
Should I have just let you be?
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to bother you.
I just didn't want to lose you too.
Ah, I suppose its my own fault.
I shouldn't have opened my vault.
I shouldn't have told you all about me and who I am
It must've been as boring as watching falling sand.
I'm sorry that I thought-
...
What did I think?
...
Did I honestly think you cared?
I opened up to you, even though I was scared.
What an idiotic move
That's like being in broad daylight as I steal the Mona Lisa from the Louvre.
I never meant to bother you
I didn't mean to stick to you like glue.
Don't worry, I'll leave
But you have to promise to go too. Don't tease.
Let's just leave each other be.

Laughter hollow cheeks red
“I wanna be drunk and forget the things she said”.
Darling your eyes are winter warm
And in this place your breath causes a storm.
But you’ve never been thunder
Your past more than just a blunder.
No one sees what you don’t show them.
Hesitant fingers on a tattered shirt hem
Thought running from who you used to be would fix this,
But there will always be things that belong to you,
Things you miss.
Thought forgetting it all would soothe you,
Though in forgetting you lost yourself, too.

Sometimes you must hurt in order to know,
fall in order to grow,
lose in order to gain,
because most of life's greatest lessons are learned through pain,
But you ignoring me is something
I can't describe
I felt that if I ignore you
Everything will go fine
But it was as good as taking poison
Please forgive me and
Release me out of my pain....

Remember when I said
I was scared you'd get sick of me?
You scoffed and said not possible.
What a fool I was
To believe you.
James Shay Jul 2016
The last thing I said to you was I love you.
It used to be simple. Everything was fine.
Now I’m being stripped of all that makes me sane.
They put up a glass wall between us.
We can’t speak, we can’t hear, but we can look.
I’m sorry for everything I did
To make you stop looking

Two
It's been two days since I last heard from you
And in those two days you've told me more
Than you have in two years
Sometimes silence is the loudest form of communication
